We are passionate about food and always happy to share our skills and knowledge with anyone who asks. So, we are providing you an opportunity to come along to our cookery workshops or demonstrations to enhance your culinary skills and make preparing food fun! We both have many years of experience…. as well as having owned a successful restaurant, Bryan was a lecturer in Professional Cookery and Jo lectured in Front of House and Hotel Management.

On arrival we serve our delicious Italian coffee.  There will be an opportunity for you to taste Coastalfood products.

COOKERY WORKSHOPS…combines participation and demonstration.

• We will provide you with a complete menu and recipes to follow.

• Recipes include discussion on special equipment, ingredients and alternatives to use in case of dietary restrictions.

• Numbers are limited to 6 persons.

• Each class ends with the group enjoying the food together.

• We always have a basket of seasonal produce from the local Farmers’ Market or some of it grown on the allotments behind our house in Frinton on Sea

• Though we are not licensed, please do bring a bottle of wine along to enjoy with food you have cooked.

CHILDREN AND PARENT COOKERY WORKSHOPS

We are now holding our popular and fun parent and child cookery workshops.

• The sessions run for 2 ½ hours and the children can learn to cook with their parents under the expert guidance of Bryan and Jo.

• The children make fresh pasta, fish cakes or meat balls, homemade bread and delicious dessert.
• Taste different oils, dressings and ingredients.

DEMONSTRATIONS

An opportunity for you to join a small group or bring your own, and watch Bryan demonstrating the preparation and cooking of recipes to tempt your taste buds and giving you ideas for “when company is coming”. You will be given recipes to take home. There will be lots of tasting, so you will not go home hungry!

DEMO AND DINE

A new and popular event. Bryan demonstrates a starter, main course and dessert using one of our wide range of cook books and then invites you to dine as a group. This is very popular  for birthdays or special occasions. Do bring your own wine.

INDIAN COOKERY WORKSHOPS

Throughout the year we hold Indian Cookery Workshops with invited tutor Badu Thobhani

WINE TASTING

Our organic and bio dynamic wine tasting evenings are very popular. They are hosted by Jane Christy of Pageant Wines and Bryan cooks dishes to complement.

One to one cookery lesson

By arrangement we can organise your own private one to one cookery lesson.

We will first discuss your requirements and then put together a cookery lesson plan. Contact Bryan and Jo for more details

WHY NOT BRING YOUR OWN GROUP?
We can plan a custom class to match your specific needs. Friends & family enjoy making a cookery workshop or demonstration part of a birthday, anniversary or other celebrations.

Our Cookery Workshop/lessons make a perfect team building experience for a small business.

WHAT DO I BRING?

You do not need to bring anything, though we do suggest comfortable and light clothing as it does get “warm in the kitchen” and we supply aprons and knives for your use.

All demonstrations and workshops must be booked and 50% deposit per person must be paid.

Gift vouchers are available
Bryan & Jo Beattie look forwarding to welcoming you to their cookery workshop
